🔍 Check in 30 seconds

Open the official status page above and look for an incident, not just the headline.
If it shows an incident, GitHub is down for everyone — wait for the provider's fix.
If it shows all systems operational, work through the "just you" steps below before assuming an outage.

🚨 Signs it is actually down

Issues, Pull Requests or search fail to load
Actions runs queue or fail across repositories
Pushes or clones fail while the website loads

🛠️ If it is just you

Check the GitHub status page per component — API, Actions, Packages and Projects can differ
Try git from the command line if the website fails, to separate website trouble from API trouble
If the status page shows an incident, wait; re-pushing the same commit does not fix a server outage

🔀 If it is down, use this instead
